Abstract:
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC)-based two-dimensional semiconductors are promising materials for next-generation electronic devices. However, challenges such as optimizing the carrier mobility, on/off current ratio, threshold voltage, and minimization of hysteresis remain. Herein, we report lightly Se-doped monolayer MoS2 via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using selenium disulfide (SeS2) as a chalcogen source. Interestingly, doping with 5.5% Se (MoS1.89Se0.11) enhanced the electron mobility compared to conventional MoS2, contrary to the typical trend of increased effective mass with substitutional doping. Additionally, bandgap tunability was achieved by controlling the Se content via temperature control of SeS2. This approach offers a pathway for tailoring the properties of TMDCs for advanced applications.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
